the live blog-ification of the New York Times, which it now does all day every day for almost anything that happens in the world—a running tally of events it won't describe plainly because it is chickenshit, is underrated in the erosion of the news media. if you don't know then just wait til you do

"This game is ultimately going to be all about the ball" See this is why you need elite former players like Brady on commentary, you just can't get that depth of analysis from someone who hasn't been in the trenches.

I've seen how people behave in airports, and I've seen how people behave in gyms. Combining them would not elevate my experience.

Get outside into a dark place if you can tonight - no guarantees, but a possible brilliant display of the northern lights.
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Eh, I've always used "Dinobot" as a handle for unserious online things. When I signed up here I quickly tried for it, and thought that I got it - but didn't see that I had mistyped it. You had already snagged the correct spelling so I just rolled with it.

It doesn't feel good, but decisions based on feelings is their game and I won't play it. Yes, those who were brainwashed by Fox's generations long propaganda campaign need an off-ramp, and I'd grit my teeth and offer it.
For the architects of that plan however, there's no punishment severe enough.

Yeah sorry, that was rude! A better way to say it would be that I'm very skeptical since there's no link to the actual study, and I tend to view any statement from a ✔️ on Twitter as highly suspicious as this point esp. praising AI. I did try to find what they were referencing, and wasn't able to.
